Investment Fund Analysis

Ongoing Analysis and Investigation

Remaining Consistent with the Investment Policy Statement

Having created a solid investment policy statement from the beginning, DataPath Investment Advisors evaluates all investments to ensure that all asset classes are well represented to provide a broad range of actively managed and indexed funds in a cost-effective manner.

Taking into consideration the personal preferences of the participant, such as a desire to invest in socially responsible or “green” funds, we also take into account the asset size, number and demographics of participants, cash flows and any other retirement benefits offered by the plan sponsor.
